PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST :)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the data from two different maps of the same park.
In the first map the length of great oaks trail is 4.5 cm
The scale from the park to the map is 36 mi to 6 cm ⇒
We can find the real length of great oaks trail writing the following equivalence :
Where x is the real length of great oaks trail ⇒
We find that the real length of great oaks trail is 27 mi
In the second map the length of salamander trail is 3.5 cm
The scale from the park in the second map is 24 mi to 3 cm.
Again we can find the real length of salamander trail writing the equivalence :
We find that the real length of salamander trail is 28 mi.
Therefore salamander trail is longer than great oaks trail.
